Thank you for your interest. I have emailed all the people who left their contact information above with more information. Please PM me if you have any questions or your bid request.
I would like to publicly answer some questions regarding sale.
How do clients pay?
The majority of customers I estimate above 95% pay regularly using PayPal invoices via ModernBill or subscriptions also done via modernbill.
We do have a number of customers who do pay via cheque but these are often Yearly and larger payments.
How would you like Payment?
I am flexible on payments. If payments are via Escrow, fees will be paid by the other party. Other methods are accepted e.g BACS. But there will be a reasonable amount of time allocated for the money to clear to ensure no charge backs are made.
Are you able to stay on during transition?
I am able to stay on for upto 30 days after the sale which is reasonable but if necessary this can be extended. I will be able to help smooth out the transition ensuring that customers do not feel uncomfortable and provide a sense of security.
Are the clients UK based or international?
Nearly (90%-95%) all the customers reside in the UK, but we do have some customers that live internationally US/Europe but pay in £ GBP.
Home or business users?
We do get a few small business websites but the majority of accounts are web designers setting up accounts for clients and tech hobbyists. Our user base seems quite knowledgeable.
Who owns the business, and are you VAT registered?
The business is in my name and I am a registered sole trader. All transactions are dealt with me. The business is not currently registered to the UK VAT system as I am not legally required to.
What are the current disk space and bandwidth usage?
Whilst I do provide a good amount of space and bandwidth to customers, the majority of clients do not use their packages to their potential. The majority of accounts are small static websites and blogs.
/home Total: 198G Used: 137G Avail: 51G Used%: 73%
The other hard drive is used for backup. Regarding bandwidth according to Bandmin in WHM
we used a total of 783.53GB of bandwith in total. Thats 58.59GB in and 736.91GB out. During September we used a total of 1138GB of bandwidth.
If necessary resources can be reduced by eliminating sponsored accounts which I would be happy to take on if you do not want them.
Would SoftLayer allow server transfer of owners?
I believe that this should not be a problem. Just to make sure I am just checking with SoftLayer to ensure that there is no additional charge.

Hello Rob,
The Student Package contains:
200mb Webspace
6gb Bandwidth
£19.94 PA
According to Modernbill there are currently 96 active domain name registrations. We currently charge £9.99 per year for .com/.net and £9.99 per two years for .co.uk.
Please also note I am currently recalculating the disk and bandwidth usages to exclude my personal and old suspended packages. This will greatly decrease the figure provided above.
